Why we're making a madrasah bag
Madrasah Bag is a small UK project from Webmatter, the team behind BookBurial. We make a handmade leather madrasah bag, made to order in Scottish leather, because the bag that carries the Quran to class every week should last for years, not be thrown away after one term.
Handmade leather madrasah bag, coming soonRegister interest
Almost every Muslim child in the UK has carried the same bag to madrasah: thin canvas, a printed dome, straps that fray by the second term. They're cheap, and they're replaced every year. By the time a child finishes hifz they may have been through ten of them.
We think the bag that carries the Quran deserves better. Not flashy, and not gold on black, but a properly made leather bag, handmade to order, of the kind people keep for decades, sized for a mushaf and designed so children keep the Quran apart and protected without having to think about it.
What we care about
- Handmade to order: every bag is made by hand for the person who ordered it, and delivered in around 14 days.
- Responsibly sourced leather: Our leather comes from the Clyde Tannery in Scotland, one of the most environmentally friendly tanneries in the world. It's bovine leather made from hides that are a by-product of the food industry, so no animal is slaughtered for its leather.
- Built to last: strong stitching, and a strap and clasps that can be repaired.
- Made for its purpose: an A4-sized interior, magnetic clasps and zipped pockets, not a generic bag with a sticker on it.
- Honest: clear prices, no discount games, and a straightforward 14-day return policy.
Who's behind it
Madrasah Bag is run by Webmatter, a small UK web and product studio. Our sister service, BookBurial, provides respectful burial of old Qurans and Islamic literature by post.
